Default backyard Carpet Track!

hi,

some pics of the offroad track i've just finish yesterday (but need some finitions at least...), and a low quality vidéo :
location : Dordogne, France
there's a lot of english people in this province, more in summer. so if you're a part of them & definitly crazy about rc, you're welcome!
holidays and rc are able together
there is a guest-house just near our house (but not mine)
it's not an advertising, just an invitation to share.











vid' with a Cougar SV :

and sorry for my "frenchy english writing style" !

bye!

I holiday in the Limousin or North Aquitaine areas of France most years. I wonder if I can fit a RC in this year........

Very nice,
What type of carpet is it? Is it expensive? Hoiw does rain effect it?
Regards,
Alan

thanks!

@i4n : you're welcome. just need that i'll be at home!
contact : here (it's a "shop", but the track is mine and free. just have respect of the area & people of course )

@ADW : it's a basic outdoor carpet, slim, with no relief. crazy grip when dry!!! but sleepy when wet. practicable but sleepy...
3,29€/m2 : here (in france, in U.K. i don't know)

@ben :
in fact in (south of) france there is a lot of clay, dust, etc...
so it's a kind of "british touch" (i've dreamin' on Robin Hood Raceway, Edend Park Raceway, etc...)
but at the club there is dirt...

i'm sure you like it :



he loves it!


ciao, good WE everybody!
